The talk
Bya talks with ichi about things
I kinda got a bit bored of writing everything with vast descriptions of everything, so this will just be dialogue. There iwll be no actually indicators as to who is speaking, but I've made it pretty clear in the actual dialogue.
Kurosaki Ichigo...
Hm?
Are you at all aware of why I requested your presence?
... No.
...
...
Then would you allow me to make you aware of a few details that might have been missed by yourself?
...Ok?
In Soul Society, my family is considered to be high nobility. Going back generations, my bloodline has been uncorrupted by what has been known as 'Lesser Blood'. Our tradition dictates that the man who leads the household must pass on the pure genetic line to his children, and they must do the same in turn.
I can understand that, sorta.
Has there been a miscommunication on my part?
Hey? Oh, uh, no, it's just, where does this pure genetic line come from? What is originally 'pure' blood?
...An excellent question. Early in the history of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, the most powerful Shinigami would become the Soutaicho, the Head Captain and Chief of all of Seireitei. There have only been five of these great individuals so far, including the current Yamamoto Genryūsai. Each of them has had a challenging path with coming to be the Master of the 13 Squads, but when they finally took their place as Chief, they would serve for nearly 2000 years at a time. During this time, their families amassed great wealth and standing. Since the reign of Gorodovan Kuchiki as 2nd Soutaicho, my familys' wealth and size has expanded to be nearly a thousand times what it was under him. The lynchpin that hold the family is the Blood of Gorodovan, which is reknown for its' high spiritual pressure and silky hair.
Eh?
Don't ask.
...Ok, then, what does this have to do with me?
Do not be so impatient, Kurosaki. We have plenty of time.
...Alright. Well, continue... Please.
As you wish. It is this Blood that is the difference between my sister and myself. Obviously, an adopted Kuchiki does not have this powerful gene. This means that if I were to pass, Rukia would likely be excommunicated from the family.
But if it is power they are looking for, then Rukia is more than acceptable! I should know, I've seen it myself! Hell, if I hadn't sucked them up, she would have given you and Renji a hell of a fight! ...Sir.
This is true, but while you have firsthand knowledge of Rukias' gifts and abilities, the rest of the Kuchiki just say that they are nothing compared to Gorodovans'.
But that's utter b-
Disrespectful to my sister? Yes, it is. But the Kuchiki elders are nothing if not set in their ways. This is why you are here.
...Me? Uh, I don't think I could convince them, unless you let me take Zangetsu to the meeting.
Amusing, but this is not the reason you were summoned.
Oh. So, watcha need?
Seeing as you yourself are a powerful Shinigami (and I do not say that lightly), the elders would be much more accepting of you.
Wha-
And, knowing Rukia, I believe she would not have a problem with my proposal, even if she is initially resistant. She will not disobey me.
Ho- Hold up, there, Byakuya, are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?
I can arrange matters so we may start in a week. Now, the garden around the back should suffice, but I understand if you want to be somewhere else.
Wait, Byakuya, this is-
You should dress appropriately. I will advise my sister to do the same. Do not be too afraid to raise your voice to her, you will command more respect that way.
Hold on, wha-
Also, I know that if there are no bruises, you are not making the most of the opportunities I am presenting you.
Ok, stop, hold up, just stop! I don't know what kind of stuff you and Hisana got up to, but I am not doing anything like that, ok?
What are you talking about? Hisana was not a shinigami, and would have had no use for bakudo training.
...
Kurosaki, what were you thinking?
...Nothing. Not a damn thing. When do we start?
